Bod was pretty sure that he and Kate and Seamus were completely ready for Christmas this year. The (small) tree had been put up and decorated, the presents had been wrapped and there was some snow on the ground, leading to the thought of a possible white Christmas. Bod had baked some cookies and Kate had found the best holiday movie around to watch for the both of them: Die Hard.

She'd had to do some convincing to sway Bod over to the thought that that was indeed a Christmas movie but Kate was Kate and always won those arguments. So, that's what they were currently doing. Bod was asking too many questions about the logistics of the film while Kate was into it.

Seamus, for his part, was more into the tree. He kept sniffing the ornaments and pawing at the gifts so much that Bod missed a few parts of the movie while trying to get him away. Kate was more than willing to backtrack and watch again.

She even said that this was going to be one of their traditions! Bod was skeptical but he went with it. He had to admit that the movie wasn't bad. There was just a low of explosions and gunfire and walking on glass in bare feet.

Christmas Eve in Kansas City was on.
